CHANGE PARKING RULES AT BERNE A new ordinance for the regulation of vehicle traffic and operators thereof, has been passed by the Berne town council. The new ordinance introduces some changes it? the traffic on Main street and only to that portion of Main street which is paved. The new parking rule on Main street is that all vehicles shall be parked parallel to the street, which makes it prohibitory to park an automobile or any other vehicle at an angle. This was considered necessary because the street is too narrow to allow parking at an angle with the street curbing. All vehicles parked along the street curb, must also have their right side next to the curb. The cars are to be parked with the right side less than 12 inches from the street curbing and must not be less than four feet from the vehicle in front or at the rear. Another very important clause of the new parking ordinance reads that no vehicle shall make a complete turn upon Main street, except at street intersections. Any one wanting to turn on the street, must drive to a street crossing before making the turn. All vehicles driven upon the paved section of Main street must also be driven to the right of the center of the street. No driver is allowed to operate his vehicle on the left side of the street. This will be closely observed.

A Policy of Service AMERICAN industry is on trial today before the American people . . , There are two things which industry must do and the time to begin is now. First— pursue a definite economic policy which will have the. respect and support of the American people, and Second — educate the public to the fact that anything which harms industry harms the people as a whole.) In the first instance, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is operating under a policy of service which merits, and we believe has won, the respect and support of the people throughout the ten Middle Western States served by this company. This is a progressive policy. Under it this company is progressing. Progress means moving forward. In business it means continual adaptation and re-adaptation to general conditions. Now business is in the process of adapting itself to bigness. It has found ways to regain that personal contact which means understandingone of these is through frankness about business policies and openness in disclosing facts about the operation of the business. In the second instance, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has, for seveVal years, pursued a policy of complete frankness with the public respecting the part which it plays in the oil industry, and, through this industry, in commercial life generally. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has grown big because the need for its service is great. Successful business tends to bigness. This matter of size is neither a virtue nor a crime, it is one of the inevitable consequences of civilization. Big tasks await accomplishment today. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is handling a big job and handling it effectively. This job is growing bijger. This cannot he avoided. The more people, the more automotive machinery, the greater the demand for petroleum products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has had the foresight to expand with the expanding needs of the people it serves. Standard Oii Company (/wdiana) 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago 3191 •
